I searched w/ google and came up with this:

No solution and its quite similar. :(

----------------------------
EDIT:

Just felt like confirming where the problem lies:

I just tested the Video Card In a ECS K7S5A PRO: Worked Fine
Tested the Ram in the ECS K7S5A Pro: worked Fine

Brorrowed the power supply from the K7S5A Pro machine: got the same No Video/Solid IDE Activity

NOTE: NO IDE CABLES OR DEVICES WERE CONNECTED!

All that was connected was the Processor/HSF, motherboard, video card, power supply -- NOTHING ELSE!

EDIT Again: Currently running fine w/ old motherboard ... gonna return Asus mb for another one.

that's about the only thing that you can do. I'm surprised it didn't crash when it happened. That's why it's a good idea to burn in a new system for 3 days straight. If nothing breaks in this time, then it prolly will last for a long time without failing.

I'm currently running of my old hard drive and everything seems to be fine except i can use my SATA hard drive (all my new anime that i havent watched is on it) and i cant return the motherboard until tommorrow :(

All i wanted to do is get drunk and watch anime this new year :(

Well it booted first time again :D

I just hope it holds up :eek:
